shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

nstallation

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources Such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enought to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. Washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with

petro/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and was removers.

• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly testured

rubber. like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate

the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble

dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin covers should not

be placed in a tumble dryer.

• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and

rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

CAUTION

NOTE

After completing connection, if water leaks from the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most conventional type of faucet for water supply. In case the faucet is square or too big, remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.
